More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
I often think of you all, one cannot do what one wants in life. The more you feel attached to a spot, the more ruthlessly you are compelled to leave it, but the memories remain, and one remembers - as in a looking glass, darkly - one's absent friends.
Vincent Van Gogh
It was Richepin who said somewhere, 'The love of art means loss of real love'... True, but on the other hand, real love makes you disgusted with art.
Vincent Van Gogh
I myself am quite absorbed by the delicate yellow, delicate soft green, delicate violet of a ploughed and weeded piece of soil.
Vincent Van Gogh
There is no such thing as an ugly woman.
Vincent Van Gogh
In spite of everything I shall rise again: I will take up my pencil, which I have forsaken in my great discouragement, and I will go on with my drawing.
Vincent Van Gogh
Yellow is capable of charming God.
Vincent Van Gogh
I am a man of passions, capable of and subject to doing more or less foolish things- which I happen to regret, more or less, afterwards.
Vincent Van Gogh
It is better to be high-spirited even though one makes more mistakes, than to be narrow-minded and all too prudent.
Vincent Van Gogh
Close friends are truly life's treasures. Sometimes they know us better than we know ourselves. With gentle honesty, they are there to guide and support us, to share our laughter and our tears. Their presence reminds us that we are never really alone.
Vincent Van Gogh
And love makes one calmer about many things, and in that way, one is more fit for one's work.
Vincent Van Gogh
There is but one Paris and however hard living may be here, and if it became worse and harder even—the French air clears up the brain and does good—a world of good.
Vincent Van Gogh
I long so much to make beautiful things. But beautiful things require effort and disappointment and perseverance.
Vincent Van Gogh
The more I think about it, the more I realize there is nothing more artistic than to love others.
Vincent Van Gogh
Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me. I see paintings or drawings in the poorest cottages, in the dirtiest corners. And my mind is driven towards these things with an irresistible momentum.
Vincent Van Gogh
Painting it was hard graft. There are one and a half large tubes of white in the ground - yet that ground is very dark.
Vincent Van Gogh
The more I become decomposed, the more sick and fragile I am, the more I become an artist.
Vincent Van Gogh
I myself believe that there is in every painter's life a period of making absurdities. In my case I think that period is already long past.
Vincent Van Gogh
As a painter I shall never signify anything of importance. I feel it Absolutely.
Vincent Van Gogh
The cypresses are always occupying my thoughts.
Vincent Van Gogh
Often whole days pass without my speaking to anyone.
Vincent Van Gogh
